I haven't done this on the 01, but on my 94 this wasn't a tough job. The sway bars are not under tension as such and they come off without much work.

I bought Prothane bushings back then from someplace off Ebay. You have to know what size the sway bars are.....diameter in millimeters. Went out to take some pictures of mine, but the battery is dead on the camera, so it will have to wait until they get charged. The back ones will be pretty easy. Haven't looked at the front ones yet.

Front ones are a piece of cake,The rear you have to loosen the rear lower control arm bolts and may let the arms slide just a little.If so,you'll need to have the alignment checked!

Merry Christmas,I'm hitting the road in about a hour see you guys later if my grand daughters decide to let me come back!~!!

Got the camera charged up and took some pictures......Jesse is right, which I didn't notice before. The lower bolt on the mount is the the lower control arm bolt.

The front looks like it should be easy.
